Over the weekend I got together with my friend Amber!
We met at a juice and smoothie bar
It had been ages since I saw her. Our last coffee meetup was ages ago.
And our champagne happy hour night out is a distant memory. Sadly.
So it was especially fabulous to catch up with her over the weekend!
Scott had Skylar so I was able to fully focus on the girl talk at hand while we sat outside and drank smoothies. A perfect time!
Later on today I am taking Skylar to her Valentine’s Day party.
We have our bag of Valentines made up and stuffed with candy and ready to hand out.
She’s excited to see what she’s going to receive! The concept of an exchange is registering. It’s so fun to re-live my childhood through her little eyes.
From my last post about Date Surprises, it was fun to hear if you’ve been surprised recently. Or this weekend.
And thanks for letting me know if you like dates. Of any kind.
Earlier today I got in a nice workout. 20 minute run + 20 minutes of yoga/core/pilates moves in my garage.
And now, it’s time to get things done around here before I go to work.
But first, if you have chocolate chips and peanut butter on hand, you can make these if you need a quick treat for your Valentine’s Day Sweetie. Or just for yourself.
Nooch optional, if you don’t have it.
Questions:
1. Do you remember receiving Valentines with candy in them? What kind of candy?
I remember those little candy hearts. They taste like chalk and are stenciled with the words “Be Mine” or “You’re Cute” on them.
Or these say “Awe Some” or “Soul Mate”
Deep thoughts are stenciled on those hearts, for sure.
I would gladly take a Butterfinger or a Crunch Bar, instead!
2. When was the last time you met up with a friend?
It had been too long, for me! Since the last time I saw my friend Jenny.
And previous to that, one of my meetups with Amber.
Far too long and it’s so necessary to have girl talk, to get together with our friends, to connect (in the flesh, not just online) and to laugh and relax! It’s my way of recharging my batteries.
3. Valentine’s Day Plans?
I don’t have any other than working. We did our Valentine’s Day “festivities” already.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
P.S. If you’re just catching up on posts from the weekend, here are mine since Friday

Happy Valentine’s! Hope Skylar has fun at her party.
I made something for A I think you’ll like, but I don’t want to write it down until I give it to him so I don’t spoil the surprise!
Happy Valentine’s Day, Averie. I hope Skylar’s party was a blast. :-)
And hey, I’m with you: I’d prefer chocolate over those heart candies any day!
chocolate over just about anything, actually :)

Happy valentines day! I am going out for a chill dinner with my bf. I remember the valentines with the candy were always the best! Candy hearts and the red heart popsicles were the best. Cute pics!
Those have got to be the yummiest looking peanut butter cups I have seen! Can’t wait to try!
you are so sweet to say that!
It seems like forever since I met up with a friend. I am going to change that soon! Although, I consider hanging out with Tony as hanging out with a friend. Have a great night Averie!
Happy happy happiest Vday, Averie!
xoxoxoxoxo times a million :)
you too honey!!!! :)
Those juices look great, and I need to remember to make those peanut butter cups! :) No plans for tonight, but we went out for Ethiopian food on Saturday…it was fantastic! I remember the cute little parties we had in elementary school. We had to decorate shoe boxes and bring them in as our Valentine “mailboxes”. It was fun!
Mhm mhm! Yummy!
Hope you have a wonderful day! Happy Vday to your gorgeous daughter too!
you are too sweet xoxo
When I was little exchangeing V-day cards with all my classmates was the best! I looked forward to that day every single year :) Oh the good ol’ days!
Girl, why are you so gorgeous?! Your meetup looks so fun, I LOVE smoothies and juices! You’re so lucky you actually get to enjoy them in the sunshine:)
you are seriously too good for my ego!
